a" The National Tribune, weekly paper
published in Washington, pretends to speak
for the Grand Army of the Republic in pro-
testing against an invitation from the citi-
zens of st. Louis to the President of the Uni
ted States to visit that city during the coming
session Of the national encampment. "We are
informed, says the Boston Herald that the
National Tribune is owned by well known
claim agent, who has been very active in
promoting pension bills, out of which hi
makes great deal of money" In fact, We
have seen an estimate that "this we'll known
claim agent" has made million of dollars
in pushing pension claims. Every penny o.
this million came from pensioned veterans

~ Republican newspapers affect to think
it strange that Gen. Black, Commissioner OF
Pensions, should find it necessary to state in
a printed circular that he will not consider
or determine pension applications on politi-
cal grounds. The occasion for the circular
is very simple. The Pension Office was
formerly run as partisan machine to such
an extent that it came to be thought quite the
usual thing for statement of political
allegiance to accompany pension applica-
ton. The methods of Dudley, Republican
Commissioner, during his administration of
the Office, do not suit the habits of General
Black. Hence the circular.

~ Sam Jones says: 81 tell you wise
man will court the whole family. want to
court my mother-in law to see what sort of a
woman raised my wife. Iwant to court the
sisters she grew up amongst. It depends
upon the mother that raised your wife and
the sisters she associated with as she grew
up to womanhood and grew up to the point
where she could become wife to some man
that offered hand and heart to her, that will
determine what kind of wife she makes" "
But Samuel, suppose the anticipated mother
in-law won't allow you to court her, and the
sisters throw hot water at you and shout
''chestnuts," all of which make you want the
girl "worser," where does the religion
come in then. Samuel, as sky-pilot, your
theory won't work. Hit that old bald-head

No Extra Session.

1t is announced. upon what seems to be
good authority in Washington that there will
be no extra session of congress called. The
President has consulted with Speaker
Carlisle, Mr.. Randall and other congressional
leaders and all agree that no necessity for
calling congress together before the regular
time for meeting exists. Therefore no extra
session will be called.
The only possible reason for calling an
extra session is that something may be done
to prevent the accumulation of money in the
treasury from redundant revenues. ALI out
standing bonds that can be paid will be paid
July l, and no more of the revenues can be
used in that way unless the government goes
into the market and buys bonds at high
premium. This the secretary of the treasury
has authority to do, but will hardly do unless
in case of great emergency.
But there will be large payments in July
on account of the outstanding per cents,
pensions, and other government expenses,
80 that the accumulation of money in the
treasury will not be serious for some months
yet. There are various expedients that may
be made use of to prevent any dangerous
contraction of the currency until congress
can meet in regular session and deal with the
subject.
OF course something must be done before
long. All expedients will be exhausted
sooner or later unless congress takes proper
action. The revenues must be cut down to
the necessities of legitimate government
expenditure. That is the only proper thing
to do and it must be done.-Pldin Dealer.

of its present administration has done as
much for the soldier as did the Republican
party in its twenty years control of the
government. The Republican leaders were
too busy looking after their own interests
and lining their pockets and by fostering
monopolies to keep them in power, to pay a
great deal of attention to the soldier. They
expected to capture the soldier vote, not by
real legislation in their favor, but rather by
promises of the great things they would do
for them in the future. We think the soldiers
see many things differently from what they
once did, and the sooner our Republican
neighbor recognizes the fact the better for
him. ..

~ There is to day only about one third
as large an Irish population in Ireland as the
Emerald Isle had at the beginning of the
century. The oppression which that long
suffering people has undergone has had the
effect of driving a large part of its citizens to
seek liberty in this country rather than fight
for it at home. The United States now has
two million native born Irishmen besides H.
5OO,O 900 native Americans of Irish parentage
There are only 5000, 900 Irishmen in Ireland,
while this country already claims 6,5OO,OOC

tB Those who assume to know that God
in making this world large enough for all its
human occupants, did not intend that there
should be any poverty among men, including
the lazy, the spendthrifts and drunkards, are
certainly very wise in their own esteem.-
When Adam was placed in the garden he was
commanded to keep it, After the fall it was
said "by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat
bread" Industry and economy are the royal
roads to success, and are the best safeguards
against poverty. The best Anti-P Poverty
Society ever known in this world is made up
of those who work up to the measure of their
abilities, and have the good sense to spend
less than they earn. Some men will not work
up to the measure of their abilities, and have
the good sense to spend less than they earn.
Some men will not work and for this reason
are poor; and some who do work spend all

e The Democratic administration is vel
into its third year, and the negroes are moi
yet put back into slavery, and the rebel debt
is not yet paid. Instead of these Republican
predictions coming true, the Democratic
party is freeing the whole people of the coun.
ty, both white and black, from the bondage
of taxes and serfdom heaped upon them by
the Republican leaders, and is steadily pay,
ing off the national debt, and that too at a
faster rate than the Republican party ever
did when it had chance.

~ Says the Plain Dealer: No Republi-
can has announced himself as gubernator-
ial candidate except Foraker. 1t is not
customary for the Republicans to give Their
candidate for this position more than two
chances. Foraker was defeated the first
time and elected the second and now he will
be nominated the third time. The reason of
this is plainly apparent. The chances of the
election of a Republican are so slight that
none of the other leading Republicans want
to try conclusions with Democratic adver-
sary this year, knowing that defeat stares
